Remember to Match!

Here's a simple way to have a HUGE impact on the Zoological Society's fundraising.

Get a matching gift from your employer!

Many corporations will match the gifts made by their employees and retirees to a qualified nonprofit organization.

Companies usually match the tax-deductible portion of your gift, which means that your membership, animal sponsorship and Annual Appeal contributions could qualify. The Zoological Society of Milwaukee has been fortunate to receive thousands of dollars in matching gifts.

Members and donors need to pay for their membership, sponsorship or appeal donation. We acknowledge the "match" from your employer as a separate contribution from the corporation. Due to corporate-giving guidelines, members and donors cannot receive any benefits from the "match" of their gift.

Here's how to double your dollar
donations to the Zoological Society of
Milwaukee in three easy steps:

Locate your company's name on this list. If your company isn't on our list, find out if it has a matching gift program.

Send the completed form with your donation to the Zoological Society, 10005 W. Bluemound Rd., Milwaukee, WI 53226-4383. (If you have already donated, just send the completed form. Depending on your company's guidelines, we still may be able to obtain a match.) Note: Some companies have a phone number or email address to contact rather than a form to complete.

If your employer is not currently on the list, we ask for your help in requesting that your corporation consider the Zoological Society as a matching gift recipient.
